We can also meet any specific plastic prototype design standards required by our customers.
Key Features of Plastic Mold Design
1. Achieving Desired Color Layout
Headlight two-color lampshade technology requires a specific molding sequence to achieve the desired color layout. Traditionally, the black part is molded first, followed by the white part which can cause color mixing at the junction. To avoid this issue, the white parts must be molded first, and then the black parts. This change in sequence requires corresponding modifications to the mold structure.
2. Overcoming Color Mixing at Junction
The modifications include fixing the white parts on the front mold instead of the rear mold, using a flip-chip mold to feed plastic from the rear mold, and adjusting the ejection power of the rear mold. These changes pose challenges in mold design and production.
3. Ensuring Stability and Accuracy
To ensure stable fixation of white parts on the front mold, corresponding structures need to be added. The length of the hot nozzle for feeding plastic from the rear mold is longer, making temperature control accuracy and hot runner requirements more demanding. Additionally, ejecting and injecting from the rear mold makes it difficult to maintain design and processing accuracy.
What Are the Basics of plastic component design?
1. Draft: Adding draft angles to the mold design allows for easy ejection of the molded part from the mold cavity.
2. Radii: Incorporating rounded corners and edges helps to prevent stress concentrations and improve the strength and durability of the molded part.
3. Wall Thickness: Designing uniform wall thickness throughout the part ensures proper flow of molten plastic during the injection molding process and avoids issues like sink marks or warping.
4. Product Design: Creating a detailed product design is essential before proceeding with mold design. This mold design for injection molding considers functional requirements, aesthetics, and any specific features or details required.
